Journal day 1
Today I get to start my adventure! First I will go to //__New haven Connecticut__//. Well since Connecticut’s state colors are blue and white I should wear something blue and white, I mean I want to make a great impression! So I put on some shorts and a T-shirt, because it’s almost summer time and it can get up to 74 degrees! So I’d like to be prepared. When I was there I found out that a baseball team in //__New Haven__// is //__The New Haven Ravens__//! Well now I need to go to the //__Peabody Museum Of Natural History__//. They say that they first started collecting specimen in 1807. In the museum they have fossils, artifacts, zoology, paintings, and illustrations. So there’s a lot to do at this museum. After that I needed to go to //__Yale University.__// When I was there I saw that the museum has galleries and there school colors are blue and white. Their mascot is //__Handsome Dan,__// which is a bulldog. I read that they have 5247 kids who have graduated and 6169 kids who haven’t graduated. Then that’s pretty much the end of my day!

In the park they find every specimen there then put them in a category, For example fungi, mammals, fish, etc. The park holds a mythical quality for all who see it, which is the giant //Hobbmock,// that’s the name the Native Americans, gave it. I just hope it doesn’t wake!!! After exploring the park I went to //__Hadlyme.__// I don’t know much about this city but I know of some events that are here. Like earth day its on April 24th- 25th. And there going green which is on the 24th threw the 25th. Then I headed to the //__Gillette Castle State Park.__// The parks actually look like a castle!
